Merge tag 'for-linus-hmm' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma
Pull HMM updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"Improvements and bug fixes for the hmm interface in the kernel:
- Improve clarity, locking and APIs related to the 'hmm mirror'
feature merged last cycle. In linux-next we now see AMDGPU and
nouveau to be using this API.
- Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the
past with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree
conflicts. There are still a few more of these cleanups that didn't
make the merge window cut off.
- Improve some core mm APIs:
- export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
- refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
- refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap
struct
- Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers
use the simplified API directly
- Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC
- Simplify the kconfig flow for the hmm users and core code"
